The Death of Falun Dafa Practitioner Miao Qisheng in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province

June 01, 2002 | By Shenyang Practitioners

(Clearwisdom.Net) On May 14, 2002, police officers from Xianggong Police
Precinct in the Huanggu District, Shenyang City broke into practitioner Miao
Qisheng's home and forcibly took away Mr. Miao who was newly released from jail.
Later they escorted him back. Before long, Mr. Miao Qisheng fell to his death
from the third floor of the apartment building (the cause of death is unclear
and further investigation is pending). Police at the Xianggong Precinct secretly
carried the body away and banned his family and relatives from seeing his
corpse. They stonewalled all requests for information and claimed that Miao
Qicheng committed suicide. When the family asked for the case record, they
replied, "We don't have it." Since Miao Qisheng's house is under
Huanghe Police Station's jurisdiction, Xianggong Station's Police went beyond
its authority to arrest Mr. Miao and later caused the death. They can't escape
from their responsibility.

Miao Qisheng, a 36-year-old, male Falun Gong practitioner since 1994, was
responsible for Dafa material in Shenyang City and a coordinator at the Huanggu
District practice site. He was illegally sentenced to jail and released in
November 2001. Before the persecution began on July 20, 1999, he worked at the
Shenyang Science Commission's Print Shop and had made great contribution
regarding clarifying the truth. After the persecution, he became a prime target
for persecution and was repeatedly detained. To avoid harassment, he had to
leave his home and go into hiding. In October 1999, Mr. Miao was arrested and
detained at the Shenyang Detention Center. In March 2000, Shenyang City
Intermediate Court accused him of "disrupting the public order" and
secretly sentenced him two years in jail without representation. Mr. Miao was in
jail for two and a half years, longer than the sentence decreed.

Facing the Jiang regime's horrendous persecution, Mr. Miao's belief in Dafa
was unshaken and he continued cultivating Dafa and clarifying the truth. In
March 2001, he wrote several poems in jail and had them published on Clearwisdom
Net. This exemplified the great courage of a Dafa practitioner who was not
afraid of the evil. In April 2001, Mr. Miao's wife, Zu Liming was also secretly
arrested and sentenced to a stay in a Forced Labor Camp because of her strong
belief in Dafa. Their relatives now care for their baby son. People familiar
with their situation denounced the Jiang's regime for its inhuman evil
activities.

Miao's tragic story highlights the Jiang's regime's gross violation of human
rights and their evil nature in promoting governmental terrorism. Shenyang
City's Huanggu District Xianggong Police Station carry out Jiang's "count
torturing to death as suicide." Police kill innocent people at will; they
can't cover up their crime by lies.

Serious Questions for Consideration:

1) Practitioners all know that suicide is a sin. How could a determined
practitioner kill himself?

2) Miao Qisheng endured much harsher treatment during his detention and he
did not commit suicide. Why did he kill himself after being released? Who would
believe that?

3) Why did people from the Xianggong Police Station secretly dispose of the
body and bar visitation? Why did they block the information and cover it up?
